Pirates

Again, I can't stress this enough, that Roberto Clemente and the 1970 Pittsburgh Pirates are the reason this thread, the only one like it, anywhere on the internet, exists. They are the true pioneers of the Ultimate Baseball Look. 45 years went by and there was just not enough hoopla to commemorate this moment in history that cannot be shrugged off as something not significant, because it is.

Mariners

Happy Birthday to "Hendu" Dave Henderson, the best dressed player in Seattle Mariners history. He definitely was a Mariner during the Golden Age of the Baseball Uniform! He should be in the Mariners Hall of Fame for that alone, forget Dan Wilson.

Later today, the St. Louis Cardinals will wear the 2015 version of their 1985 uniforms in a game vs the Royals. Well, the expectations for era accuracy are not very high. We expect baggy jerseys, pants that are baggy as well as either too short or too long. Here is what Ozzie Smith and the St. Louis Cardinals looked like in 1985. V-neck pullover jerseys and sansabelt baseball pants, hemmed mid-calf and striped stirrups.

Pirates

Happy Birthday to the greatest player of all-time, Barry Bonds. Here is Barry Bonds in the greatest Pittsburgh Pirates road uniforms, v-neck pullover jerseys and sansabelt baseball pants with that striped elastic waistband, the Ultimate Baseball Look. Which do we like better, team name or city? I believe the team name is almost always preferred.

Pirates

Doug Drabek in the Pittsburgh Pirates best home uniform ever, sorry Roberto. As mentioned previously, the best baseball uniforms, like the best basketball uniforms, all have the striped elastic waistband in common with each other. Michael Jordan of the Bulls and Karl Malone of the Jazz.

Blue Jays

Toronto Blue Jays concept by ccslc user "Djruggs". I don't understand why the guy located the Blue Jays logo off to the left when one of the many positive attributes a pullover jersey has over anything else in the world is that you can put logos in the center of the jersey, where they belong! Grow the game.

RiverDogs/Rainbows

Charleston RiverDogs wore Charleston Rainbows v-neck pullover jerseys Monday. These jersey simply look like BP jerseys. They would have been otherworldy if they had orange, yellow and green trim on the collar.

Twins/Rkyals

Rod Carew and the Minnesota Twins appear to be in some sort of disagreement with the Kansas City Royals. We however, are in agreement that that, was truly the Golden Age of the Baseball Uniform The fans want baseball uniforms to be free of buttons and belts again.

Bucs

Former Texas Longhorn, 1992 Olympian and San Francisco Giant Calvin Murray is 44 today. While at college, Murray, now a Scott Boras employee, played two summers for the summer collegiate Anchorage Bucs. They're not MLB, but the Anchorage Bucs from that era are in the argument for greatest baseball uniforms of all-time! Pullover jerseys and sansabelt baseball pants are what the fans and players want and need again. It's like a drug and the only treatment is making the game of baseball better to look at.

Tides

Gregg Jefferies in that great Tidewater Tidesroad v-neck pullover jersey with the racing stripes we all just seem to require! It's good that there seems to be a growing push to have the Norfolk Tides change their name back to Tidewater!
